Wormwood Gentleman Corpse
Wormwood is a worm from another dimension (possibly a Hell dimension?) who inhabits a corpse (that’s him looking out the right eye socket). He hangs out with Mr. Pendulum, a clockwork assistant and drinking buddy Wormwood built himself and Phoebe, exotic dancer and two gun shooter with raptor tattoos that come to life in a battle. Together they save Earth from demons, vile plants, monstrous tentacle thingies and bad beer.

Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Singularity 7, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous new series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much.) |

This second collection of Eisner Award-nominated artist Ben Templesmith’s Wormwood moves beyond the simply bizarre and into the sublime lunacy that is Lephrechaunia as Wormwood and his posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted. But if rabid leprechauns and inter-dimensional travel isn’t enough to get your head spinning, enter the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of “gatherers,” hell bent on ingesting everything they can get their tentacles on! |

Just when Wormwood thought he could finally have that quiet drink without worrying about the world coming to an end, or a friend with a parasitic infection trying to kill him, The Brotherhood of the Calamari decide to crash the party. Since their last meeting, they’ve tracked him across the thousand million dimensional possibilities of existence — and this time the entire Squideeverse is with them! Wormwood is going to learn the hard way he can’t keep running from his problems as his oldest foe now threatens his favorite watering hole, Earth, with absorption into the Calamari group mind! |
